Chapter 985 Gu Jinxiao's Cold Eyes
As soon as Concubine Wang finished speaking, Concubine Chun arrived late, supported by Yingxiang.
Her skin was originally a healthy wheat color, but now it was abnormally pale. She bowed weakly: "I pay my respects to the Royal Concubine Chen. May the Royal Concubine be blessed with good health!"
"I am really not feeling well, that's why I came late today. Please punish me, Concubine Chen..."
Shen Zhinian's gaze fell on Concubine Chun, and he subconsciously thought of the snow silkworm's molt.
Could it be that it was really as she guessed, that Concubine Chun shed the snow silkworm onto her own body, and then cried thief and slandered that someone from Zhongcui Palace poisoned her?
However, on second thought, Shen Zhinian felt that it was impossible.
Because Tang Luochuan said that the poison would quickly enter the spleen and stomach of the poisoned person, causing heart and stomach cramps. Within a cup of tea, the person would bleed from all seven orifices and die.
If Concubine Chun had really poisoned herself, she would be rolling on the ground in pain and would soon die.
Judging from Concubine Chun’s expression, is she fake? Is she really sick?
Time is running out and no one can afford the consequences of delaying the moon worship ceremony.
Shen Zhinian didn't have time to waste on Concubine Chun, and said, "Since you are really unwell and that's why you are so late, I will not pursue it this time."
Concubine Chun said weakly: "Thank you, Concubine Chen, for your magnanimity!"
Then, Shen Zhinian gave Xiao Mingzi a look, asking him to keep a close eye on Chun Guiren.
Xiao Mingzi immediately understood and nodded.
Shen Zhinian said, "It's getting late. My sisters, please follow me to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."
Everyone said in unison: "Your Highness/Concubine obeys your command!"
After leaving Zhongcui Palace, Shen Zhinian sat on the sedan chair and went all the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The distance between Zhongcui Palace and the Hall of Supreme Harmony is not that close. The ladies in the main seats who have sedan chairs are fine, but the lower-ranking concubines can only walk there on their own two legs, which is very difficult...
Especially since Chun Gui was not feeling well, this long journey was undoubtedly a torment for her...
At first, Concubine Wang thought that Concubine Chun must have had her head stuck in the door to dare to make trouble on such an important day.
But now, looking at Concubine Chun's expression, a hint of suspicion flashed across her eyes.
Could it be that Concubine Chun is really sick?
This tribute came from the Western Regions. It was normally as strong as a calf. How could it suddenly become sick?
Although Concubine Wang couldn't think of the reason at the moment, it did not affect her mocking Concubine Chun.
She sat on the high sedan chair, looked down at Concubine Chun, and asked with a smile: "It will take a long time to walk from here to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Sister Chun is so weak, can she hold on?"
"How about...I'll let you sit on the sedan chair?"
Everyone could tell that Wangpin's words were meant to be sarcastic.
A cold light flashed in Concubine Chun's eyes, and then, as if she didn't understand Concubine Wang's malicious intentions, she raised her small face and asked in surprise, "Are you serious?!"
"There were many misunderstandings between me and the Queen Concubine Wang in the past. I thought the Queen Concubine Wang had always disliked me, but I didn't expect that true friendship would be revealed in times of adversity!"
"I am not feeling well today, and I am so grateful to Your Majesty for your consideration. I would like to thank you!"
Yingxiang chimed in, "Thank you, Lady Wang, for taking such good care of our young lady! It is such a blessing for her to live in your palace!"
Wang Concubine: "..."
Is Concubine Chun really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?
She was being sarcastic. Why did this bitch take advantage of the situation?
In her opinion, Concubine Chun clearly did it on purpose!
However, Wangpin had already spoken in public, so how could she save face if she didn't do as she was told?
She could only order with a dark face: "Stop the sedan!"
The young eunuch who was carrying the princess' sedan chair stopped immediately.
She walked down from the sedan chair with a dark face, looked at Concubine Chun coldly, and said through gritted teeth: "Sister Chun, please, come on!"
"Thank you, Sister Wangpin!"
Concubine Chun didn't bother to be polite to Concubine Wang and sat on her sedan chair.
The young eunuch lifted the sedan chair again.
Concubine Chun leaned back in her chair and couldn't help but smile.
So this is what it feels like to sit in a sedan chair!
Although a sedan chair is nothing special, but in the palace, it is a symbol of identity and status!
One day, she will replace the princess and become the real owner of this sedan chair!
Some lower-ranking palace concubines did not see the undercurrent between them and thought that Concubine Wang really was upset by Concubine Chun, so they gave the sedan chair to her.
For a moment, they all felt a lot of admiration in their hearts.
Some people look at Chun Guiren with eyes full of envy!
They didn't want to walk such a long way to get there, and their feet would be sore. Concubine Chun was lucky to live in the same palace with Concubine Wang and be taken care of by the Queen Mother!
Of course, there are still many smart people in the palace, and they can see clearly what is going on between Concubine Chun and Concubine Wang.
At this moment, many people looked at Wang Pin with a hint of sarcasm in their eyes.
It's so embarrassing that a dignified queen was tricked by a noble living in her own palace!
Concubine Wang's face had become as black as the bottom of a pot. She couldn't think of a way to deal with Concubine Chun in a short period of time. She could only grit her teeth and pray in her heart, hoping that this bitch would die of illness today!
Worst case scenario, if Concubine Chun makes any mistake during the moon worship ceremony due to illness, His Majesty will definitely punish her for misbehaving in front of the emperor!
Humph! She was waiting to see what would happen to Concubine Chun!
Fuqiu whispered to Shen Zhinian what had happened between them.
Handan smiled and lowered her head, then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I think that Concubine Wang is no match for Concubine Chun."
Although Concubine Wang had turned to the light, Shen Zhinian had never considered her as a member of his camp, so naturally he would not sympathize with her. He just asked Xiao Mingzi to continue to keep a close eye on Concubine Chun.
I don’t know how long it had passed, but the huge group of concubines finally arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The royal family members and civil and military ministers have all arrived.
Gu Jinxiao's cold eyes swept across the familiar figure.
Concubine Chen sat upright on the sedan chair, her face as white as snow, with a soft glow, like pouring moonlight.
Her facial features are as delicate as a painting, her eyebrows are as long and thin as distant ink, slightly raised, revealing a hint of charm.
Her eyes are bright and deep, like the twinkling stars in the night sky. When her eyes move, they have both dignified charm and charming style.
The bridge of her nose was straight, like a peak of jade. Her lips were as red as rose petals, and her slightly upturned mouth corners had a hint of a smile, which made her look dignified and generous, yet charming and attractive.
When she got off the sedan chair and walked towards this side, people could clearly see the gorgeous palace dress she was wearing.
The deep red brocade is embroidered with a lifelike blue phoenix, which spreads its wings as if ready to fly. Its feathers are bright and eye-catching, as if it wants to break through the shackles of the brocade and fly into the sky!
